Description
In Portrait of a Greek Imagination, Michael Hetzfeld succeeds in telling the life history of Andreas Nenedakis in a way that beautifully connects autobiographic and ethnographic levels of understanding. One learns a great deal about Nenedakis as a writer and a person while acquiring new knowledge and insight into the spirals of history that have drawn together Cretan, Greek, and European society during the twentieth century. It is an important contribution to the current discussions about the intersection of anthropology and literature.
